The Game by The Sailing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What’s it matter to you anyway?
The game’s more fun if you actually play
We made some promises we’d never keep
And now we’ve got them fighting in the streets
I don’t mean to play devil’s advocate
But if I get in the rain, I’m getting wet
There’s no point in keeping me here -
You haven’t slept in seven years
[Chorus]
To those who can never be named:
Your lives are just a game
The heat always lеads to a flame
I’m never gonna see you again
And it doеsn’t bother me at all
[Verse 2]
I’m too young to know the difference
And yet I’m stuck here with a life sentence
My towel’s been thrown;
Line ‘em up and sink ‘em like stones
Oh, there’s no point in keeping me here -
You haven’t slept in seven years
[Chorus]
To those who can never be named:
Your lives are just a game
The heat always leads to a flame
I’m never gonna see you again
And it doesn’t bother me at all
[Outro]
I dreamt I could fly
And so I moved through the skies
And I discovered
That I could no longer hear your call
And it’s just that you’re so god damn beautiful
And I know that’s it’s wrong;
I’ll sing you to sleep
I promise I won’t ever leave again
I know that it’s just a game to you
And I know I’ll see you in my nightmares
I know I’ll see you in my dreams
I hope you’re happy and satisfied
With what you’ve done to me
What’s it matter to you anyway?
The game’s more fun if you actually play
We made some promises we’d never keep
And now we’ve got them fighting in the streets
I don’t mean to play devil’s advocate
But if I get in the rain, I’m getting wet
There’s no point in keeping me here -
You haven’t slept in seven years
[Chorus]
To those who can never be named:
Your lives are just a game
The heat always lеads to a flame
I’m never gonna see you again
And it doеsn’t bother me at all
[Verse 2]
I’m too young to know the difference
And yet I’m stuck here with a life sentence
My towel’s been thrown;
Line ‘em up and sink ‘em like stones
Oh, there’s no point in keeping me here -
You haven’t slept in seven years
[Chorus]
To those who can never be named:
Your lives are just a game
The heat always leads to a flame
I’m never gonna see you again
And it doesn’t bother me at all
[Outro]
I dreamt I could fly
And so I moved through the skies
And I discovered
That I could no longer hear your call
And it’s just that you’re so god damn beautiful
And I know that’s it’s wrong;
I’ll sing you to sleep
I promise I won’t ever leave again
I know that it’s just a game to you
And I know I’ll see you in my nightmares
I know I’ll see you in my dreams
I hope you’re happy and satisfied
With what you’ve done to me
